The position of the hotel is perfect, the structure was clean and cozy, the service was great and our room was clean, spacious well kept. The view from the room was stunning, we could see the city and the castle from there!

Me and my husband always love to stay here when visiting Edinburgh, however was a bit disappointing having only 1 toilet paper in the toilet when it should be fully furnished and when the housekeeping was scheduled in the morning, we always found at least 1 bath towel missing, that could be for hair, or body or hands or the bath mat. The first morning, when we were having the breakfast, we found few eggs a bit greenish. That could be dangerous for health. Other than these, we loved everything.

Location was far from the main city area. I had to take a bus but the bus stop was in front of the hotel so it was ok The rooms were quiet at night and l could get good sleep. The staff were very polite and helpful. I had to ask them how to get around to the beach area. Collin was very helpful indeed. There was another guy but l forgot his name. There was a Chinese guy at the reception and she was helpful too

Breakfast choices can be improved by having a bit more of selection. The bacon was tok salty and the hash browns were hard to bite into.

The design of the room is well thought through. The different lighting options are useful and I like that the room has a hallway type area for bathroom, storage etc before the main space. The table and seating area in the room is a great feature. The very large windows are good and view is excellent. The room is spacious in a classic contemporary style and very clean. I slept well and the breakfast was good quality with plenty choice and the hours for breakfast are useful if you have an early start. Location is very convenient and there are frequent buses.

the mattress was slightly sagging; the apple juice at breakfast tasted synthetic.

I found the rooms had all you need comfy pillows iron hair dryer, the body wash and hand wash were by Dove which was so nice not the usual cheap brands

The fact that you can’t get food during the day

Good location - a bus stop right in front of the hotel and app. 10 min by bus to the center. The breakfast is fine for anyone who loves full english breakfast but if you are not a fan of that you might have a problem to find something to eat as there is no ham, no cheese, no veg... only beans, sausage, eggs, has browns and some cereals - for me to was perfectly fine but not for others : ) The breakfast room is not big enough and sometimes you need to wait in the queue but it never takes too long to be seated. The room was fine - we had double room with sofa (where our children slept and it is realy very small but we expected it) with nice view overlooking the whole city. In general the hotel is a little bit out dated and deserves some renovations but on the other the price is more than fair for what you get. I would definetely recommend it.

Missing toilet brush. Nothing else but full english breakfast and cereals for the breakfast. Very cold in the bathroom. No closet and almost no shelfes in the room.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bedroom and en suite were very clean. The breakfast was good and on the one evening we ate there, dinner was very good too. The location is good with a bus stop pretty much outside the hotel. Good value for the price.

The bedroom wasn't very big. There were no shelves or drawers for clothes, and only a very small alcove with a rail, which acted as a wardrobe. This would be adequate for a one night stay but, as we were staying for 3 nights, we had to live out of our suitcases and there wasn'tmuch room for those. As with pretty much all hotels, there was only one chair in a room for two.

The hotel is in a very comfortable location with supermarkets, fast food restaurants nearby in case you want to buy something or eat. There are also bus stops very near to the hotel with very often itinerary for buses going to the city center (We were using the bus line 43). The room was comfortable, warm and clean and it had hair dryer, iron and ironing board inside. The room insulation was ok. The hotel staff was very polite with smiles on their faces and always willing to help us. The breakfast was also very nice with enough options to eat, coffee or juices to drink. The distance from the airport is about 20 minutes (by taxi or car). Finally, for people traveling from other European countries we suggest carrying with you a socket adopter (EU to UK) for charging your devices.

Breakfast included, good rate and staff were helpful - they even sorted a very early breakfast for my husband who couldn't eat after 6.30 am due to having surgery later. Wasn't expecting fancy for that price, but it did the trick for my needs, very good value for a 2 night stay, location was a nice walk to the hospital or No 38 bus at night, bus stop close to hotel. Clean and comfortable, no issues for me. I'd consider staying there longer, while needing to get to the hospital as price is great, but couldn't do longer stay with no fridge.

A small fridge in the room would have been great, or to be able to request use of one. Although I understand they have one at reception for small items.

My daughter and I both liked the idea that we were shown to a table, that way they knew that we would be put on a table which was cleared. Service was with a smile too! Breakfast great! Scrambled egg was to die for ha! Liked the toast shape as the usual square bread, just sayin'. The wee pots of jam, nice jam by the way, more like jelly texture than bits in. Beans was the tasty ones, Coffee nice and hot, nice taste too! Hash browns nummy not soggy. OMG rantin on a bit. My daughter loved the sausages :) We weren't rushed out the door having the napkin still stuck in our jersey, ha! Oh and although we missed the wee muffins the first day, we did have 2 each the next day. Tut tut.

Well, unlike my daughter, I didn't get on very well with the sausages. Bit strong for me and didn't want to put sauce on it. That's just me though, others may have thought they were grrreeaat! eek!

Good location, multiple buses to the city, From the airport we took the 200 that sops in 10min walk from/to the hotel. Friendly staff, we could leave the bags in the reception Tea, coffee, steam iron,hairdryer in the room Comfy beds, silent rooms, nice view to the city

Breakfast is OK but no vegetables nor cheese or ham. So a bit dull on the 3rd morning. Crowd in the breakfast room after 7:30 no tables left. Staff tries to rule the chaos but maybe need more colleagues to handle rush hours
